Remember the woman who proved that Apple consistently slows down sold iPhones with "updates" right before the launch date of a new model?

No, because that never was a fucking thing.

Seriously, this is supposed to be a community of reasonably well-informed tech-oriented people. Step back for a second, take a deep breath, and think before you spread nonsense like this. Jesus.

That does sound ridiculous.

But please don't comment like this and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11047606 on HN. That just makes the threads worse. Instead, please stay civil even when some people are being silly.

You are, as ever, totally right; there's no reason to be rude. Sorry.

Good lord no. But thank you for the polite response and intention to change. It really is a collective effort.
